on the sidewalk
they passed
knowing each other
instantly, though
they had never met
familiarity brings
need of getting together
setting up drinks
getting to know
the person they
were already
comfortable with
feeling the need
he changes direction
quickly goes
to meet up
it isn’t a pick up line
saying simply
hello
she responded
encouraging now
the conversation
that will
continue forever
